Matula: The consequences we experience with the coronavirus become more terrible than the virus itself

When asked what is being done wrong so that older adults than young people are more in favor of vaccination, the interlocutor assured that the institution that should take care of it is simply not doing anything.

“You can always think that things can be done better, of course you can, but the main body that should deal with both flu vaccines and coronavirus information is that that body is largely inoperable today. I am referring to the Center for Communicable Diseases and AIDS, because this institution had to take care of it, conduct surveys, reach a large part of society, especially young people, through information networks, but today we do not have that institution, “he says. A. Matulas.

“We probably still have time to find methods, ways to reach young people so that people want to be vaccinated, we really have to come up with it,” adds A. Matulas.

It is true that many know that the coronavirus is a little less dangerous for young people, and we see in the daily statistics of the coronavirus that the virus is still very rarely transmitted to people under the age of 30, but that is not a reason why young people shouldn’t. be vaccinated.

“Maybe I was not quite right about youth, because younger people are in a softer shape. We shouldn’t justify making it easier for young people to get sick, but I said we still have time to find ways to get there. young people and inform them that vaccination is necessary. I think that if we get more vaccines, that is the ambitious goal that our President has set us to vaccinate at least 70%. Society on July 1 is available “, says A. Matulas .

“The consequences that we have for the coronavirus, for the quarantine, for other diseases, for the lack of communication are already getting worse than for the coronavirus itself,” he said.

When asked how long it would take to change the opinion of young people, A. Matulas considered that we must reach young people through social networks.

“It should be a much shorter time than a year, a couple of months, because if we achieve those goals in a month, basically we can have the opportunity to have vaccines and not have anything to vaccinate, which is why the time is so short, we have to think about how to do it. In my opinion, the first step is to empower the institution that has been created for it. It is necessary to use known people through social networks, because young people live on Facebook, it is necessary to reveal objective information about vaccines ”, says A. Matulas.
